The beautiful five-diamond Fairmont Scottsdale is offering its guests a truly unique weekend experience this fall with its themed-getaways known as the “Season of Personal Discovery”. Six weekends have been carefully “plotted” out by the resort and by today’s most celebrated authors, who will be joining guests at the Fairmont on their special occasion. Plus guests will take pleasure in resort discounts, including specials at Willow Stream Spa and rounds of golf at the TPC Scottsdale – home of the famous FBR Open!

I’m gonna see Mina at Crave Scottsdale…I’d love to meet him at the Fairmon!
I love the Fairmont…The Literary Stew sounds interesting and unlike your typical event.
I am torn between two weekends: the Food & Wine for the Soul – Culinary Weekend or the Cloak & Dagger – Mystery Thriller Weekend. Maybe is I plan properly, I can do both.
i wonder how much response resorts actually get to these package deals…
